  1. New Confucianism in China - Late Night Live - 12 October 2011

    The teachings and philosophies of Confucius,the great Chinese sage, held sway across China for centuries, until Mao Zedong criticised him as a preacher of feudal mentality and slave morality. However, as the grip of communism transmogrifies into consumerism in China, Confucianism is again on the rise. But what sort of Confucianism and how might it work in a modern consumer society?

    Publications :
    Title: China’s New Confucianism: Politics and Everyday Life in a Changing Society

  3. The Book of Lost Books, by Stuart Kelly - West Port Book Festival

    In The Book of Lost Books, Stuart Kelly reaches into the recesses of history to trace books, great or perhaps otherwise, that have been lost, stolen, incinerated, abandoned or mutilated through the ages. In a sparkling event, he reads extracts which deal his own fascination with lost books, Agathon, the Greek tragic poet whose works are all lost, the lost adventures of Sir Richard Burton, and many intriguing literary titbits.

  4. Collective Nouns with Stuart Kelly - West Port Book Festival

    Author and literary editor Stuart Kelly is a closet fan of collective nouns, those brilliant and brain-bending terms that allow us to junk a dullard ‘group’ or ‘flock’ for many more interesting and apt alternatives. Author of upcoming Scott-land (Birlinn) and veteran of West Port 09 with his wonderful “Book of Lost Books” (see last year’s podcast), Stuart’s event appeals to those who appreciate the linguistic greatness of a murder of crows, or the disparity between Sir Walter Scott’s influence and his status.
